Italy v. Yugoslavia

Post by Pstotto » Mon Aug 28, 2017 7:14 pm

Next door countries, similar climate and geography, but in terms of a contribution to humanity... Well, let's see.

Lamborghini
Ferrari
Fiat
Lancia
Maserati
MV Agusta
Moto Guzzi
Laverda
Vespa
Piaggio
Lambretta
Morini
Benelli

I think it's fair to compare and if that's racist then so what?

Could be 1968, but it's a fantasy conjecture.

This result was conclusively decided in 1945. The Italians lost both legs of an aggregate score despite asking the Germans to lend them some players.

Italy sacked (and briefly reinstated) their manager Mussolini half way through the tie to no avail.

Final score:

Italy 0 - 9 Yugoslavia

Cultural significance = nil
